WHY SOME WIVES GROW TIRED OF THEIR EHUsBANDs.-BY MRS. A. 1T. IsLER. Because when once a woman is a wife that settles it. His ''companiono means wife, seamstress, cook, house. keeper, mother, nurse, chambermaid, : laundress, dairy woman and scrub , generally, with never moments time ! to look at book or paper that she may know the news of the day.
 Because in his eyes every one of his 7 neighbor's children is bright and in- ! telligent, but as he is never seen to speak to or play with his children it is no wonder he sees nothing in them. He is willing his wife should bear children, but if one of the babes cry at night he is always ready with, "D-n that baby; can't you keep it quiet?"
 Because he is a selfish, purse hold ing creature, who thinks if a woman has ten cents she ought to make it last year. He always gets the best of everything and the latest styles for himself, but Dever urges her to do likewise; in tact storms if she gets new bonnet once in q season; calls her iS1hNSS anu tAlIuNu2Ullt uIllI SWPHTS she will break him up.
 Because he is gambler He is born that way and can't help it. He is never 50 tired but what he can spend the evening down street or stay out all night playing poker or faro. He is always ready to risk his whole weeks salary at a clip on the races or gaming table, besides his staying out all night bumming and gambling, risking his health and reputation of himself and family.
 Because he is a hypocritc. He gives liberally to the church, but never gives his wife or children cent, yet spends from two to seven dollars d week for cigars and drinks, to say nothing of his big sprees, when no door in the house is bit too biz to let him in.
 Because when she is ill Gas all wom- en will be) he boasts of how he can stand pain; but wait until he gets sick then nothing is good enough for him, and if the house stood in the cen ter of ten-acre lot you could hear him groan from one end of it to the other, and every one in the house is delegated to wait on this brave man.
 Because if he gives token Christ mas that must last all year, unless he wants jaunt with the boys, or on re- covering from ''toot" he finds he has broken some piece of bric-a- brac. or banged her on the head, then he makes present, as he hopes that way to heal the breach.
 Because beauty and virtue are gifts possessed by every other woman than his wife, who "never will dress like other women" The very brilliancv of repartee and action that won him is frowned down even before the honeymoon wanes.
 Because he is never known to talk of any thing at home to his wife and children but science, patents, politics and religion, and wonders at the stu pidity of his wife because she grows tired of the samenoss day after day.
 Because, before marriage he teaches her to expect horses, carriages and certain amusements; but if she even hints at them the very deuce is to pay. She can even ride in the express wagon with their trunks from board lng-house to boarding house to save car fare.
 Because they allow their wives no freedom of action, but treat them as slaves, and then think they are poor abused creatures because they fail to find any sympathy in their wives.
 Because he recalls all the good there may be in his mother, but sees no merit in his wife.
 Because he keeps his wife ignorant as to his finances; thinks woman has no business to know such things, and then complains of the expense of his house and family.
 Because wife's place is in the house. He can be out, ogle and fiirt with women to his hearts content.
 Because, if another gentleman should extend the wife the courtesy that might be shown stranger, the hus- band grows jealous, intimates she firts, and is no better than she should be.
 Because he is ready for any and all reforms-wants to reform everyone but himself, who most needs reforming. WHY SOME HUSBANDS GROW TIRED OF
 THEIR wIvEs.--BY A. H. IsLER.
 Because they fail to, find their wives companions. They must either be bossed or petted. If bossed, they find them cunning and full of deceit, watch ing every opportunity to outwit their husbands and to deceive them as to the real situation of things. If petted, they are whimsical and tyrannical,
